This is to ensure a fair and consistent wage for all their employees, which is pretty darn respectable.
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
So, tipping is not required nor expected at Walmart curbside pickup. But hey, that doesn't mean you can't show your appreciation in other ways!

- Offer to help them load your groceries: Especially if you have a mountain of paper towels and a case of water. They'll appreciate the teamwork.

Look, sometimes you just feel the overwhelming urge to leave a tip. Maybe they carried your groceries out in a snowstorm, or perhaps they found that elusive jar of pickle relish you desperately needed. In these rare instances, here's what you can do:
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
- Tip the delivery drivers: If you use Walmart's delivery service (which is different from curbside pickup), you have the option to tip the driver through the app.

Remember, the most important thing is to be courteous and respectful to the curbside pickup staff. They're working hard to make your grocery shopping experience a breeze, and a little kindness goes a long way, whether it's in the form of a smile, a helping hand, or a good deed in their name.
So, there you have it! The ultimate guide to tipping (or not tipping) your Walmart curbside pickup hero. Now go forth, conquer your grocery list, and spread a little sunshine (or at least the joy of not having to wrangle a cart full of groceries through the parking lot) in the world.
